We all enjoyed the cottage it was clean but the road was very noisy as said on some reviews but didn’t realise how noisy it was.The location was good for what we wanted the cottage for, the pub up the road was very friendly and the food was great the surrounding areas were very nice but most of the places we went to Bakewell had to be the best. Comming back to the cottage if the patio had been at the back it would have been excellent but the main thing is we all enjoyed the stay and the people who owned the property were very nice and helpful

The place is lovely, clean, well equipment with everything you need or can think of. The welcome pack with cava, coffee, tea, chocolate & biscuits was a nice touch. Main bedroom was big, comfy mattress & bedlinens, could do with blackout curtains as sunlight come in by 4am in the summer time & only get dark after 9pm. Second bedroom with twin beds were good too. Bathroom is big with separate shower which is a bonus. There were some review about the location noisy because is by the busy main road with many fast passing vehicles but at night there are hardly any, so the noise were minimum. would definitely recommend Bobbin, and we will be happy to return as the host also very responsive to any query.
